What hardware, what software?

Additionally, is there any standalone unit that would do this?

Many thanks,
I use one of these on my laptop and it works great with the antenna on the tray table in a window seat. Better yet, it is not real expensive, but it is nearly impossible to use in a car unless you have a navigator in the shotgun seat.
